custom of the departments.
No definite information can be ob

regarding the clerks'' hours In the
departments, but he has repeatedly,1
said that he favors a half-holiday not i
only during the summer months, but
throughout the entire year, for cer
tain classes of work which are con
fining, and from certain hints he has
dropped recently it is believed he J
includes the Government clerks in
this class and that an important an
nouncement will be forthcoming
from the White House shortly.

Veterans in Senate Employ
Are Reduced by Democrats
and Jobs Threatened.
A storm of indignation has been
aroused among old soldiers at the Capi
tol and their comrades elsewhere by dis
closure of the fact that the Senate Demo
cratic management has slashed the nay
of the veterans on the permanent roll
of the upper bouse. Not only that, but
threats arc held out that if the old sol
diers, through any of the Republican
Senators, seek to get any redress they
will all be "fired."
On the permanent roll of the Senate
there are thirty old soldiers. By a Sen
ate resolution, they cannot be removed
except by action of the Senate. Most
of them have been employed as door
keepers. The Senate Democrats, as soon
as they got In power, began casting
around to see what they could do In re
gard to the places held by the veterans.
Js'ot caring to try to oust them, they
proceeded to cut salaries. In a number
of cases, the reduction Is one half of the
Aged veterans who are unable to per
form manual labor. It Is charged, have
been sent down to the folding room.
Senator Smoot called a meeting in his
office yesterday afternoon. But some of
the old soldiers asked him to take no
action for the present, saying they had
been advised they would be discharged
entirely if any move was made In the
Senate to restore their salaries.
The Utah Senator says the treatment
of the veterans Is unjust, that the Demo

FOR TARIFF 8ILL
Underwood Calls on Wilson, and
Leaves, Confident Measure
Will Win Easily.
"I see clear sailing for the tariff bill
now. Outside of a few minor committee
amendments, the bill will go before the
House In Its present shape. The hard
est fights In caucus against the bill
have been already made."
This was the statement of Oscar Un
derwood, tariff pilot of the House and
majority leader, as he left the White
House today, smiling and full of con
fidence that all the obstacles In the
path of the new tariff bill had been
brushed aside.
Debate to Be Brief.
Mr. Underwood says the debate in the
House will be brief, probably not ex
ceeding two or three weeks. He expects
that the caucus will complete Its de
liberations on the bill within three or
four days at the outside. There Is every
Inclination to give free rein to debate
In the House, but it Is not expected
that the opposition will prolong the dis
cussions unnecessarily, in view of the
overwhelming majority of the Demo
crats. Elucidating the life Insurance situa
tion which has caused confusion in ths
minds of some authorities. Mr. Under
wood said the new Income tax blI
makes absolutely no provision for the
taxation of either mutual companies or
policy holders other than Is provided In
the existing corporation tax.
Sees a Mistake.
"Those who have read the bill differ
ently are mistaken." he said. "The in
come tax docs not tax policies or Insur
ance firms except under the existing
corporation tax that Is the rate of 1
per cent. When accumulated benefits In
Insurance companies are converted Into
bonds and other forms of Investment
they become taxable under the Income
tax. That would naturally follow."
As Mr. Underwood came out of Presi
dent Wilson's office Secretary of State
Bryan went In. The two men between
whom hard feeling existed two years
ago bowed and smiled as they passed
each other.

Throughout the city hope has been abandoned, and preparations are go

At 6 o'clock this evening all members of the Pontiff's family were re

They were told by Dr. Amici that the Pope could not possibly survive the

Charging- that a "ghost" was used
to scare a confession from Norman
Bruce McCIeary, charged with mur
dering Mrs. Nannie Henry In Hagers
town, August 15, 1912, Attorney
Charles Waggaman, . McCleary's
counsel, today followed up his story
by accusing Washington police help
ed in a "third degree" process.
In the crowded, court room at
Rockville, whence the case was re
moved on a change of venue process.
Attorney Waggaman startled- his
hearers by charging United States
District Attorney McComas Hawken
and Detectives Grant and Heelan, of
headquarters, with taking part in a
'sweating" of the prisoner.
Used a White Sheet
Th nrosecutlon attempted to show
there was no "third degree," and that
the confession of McCIeary was maoe
of his own volition. The derense
charged that the prisoner was brought
to Washington for the-eapreaa purpose
of giving him the "third decree,"
Then he was brought back: to kock-
vllle. where. Attorney waggaman
claimed. Ave detectives pursued the
bounding process.

Th orlsoner was kent m solitary con
finement. The ghost preyed on his nerve
until ) last, half starved and broken in
spirit, he signed the confession prepared
by Prosecuting Attorney waisinger. oi
Hagerstown. So went the accusation of
Attorney Waggaman.
The prosecuting attorney aamuiea
nrnnrlni- th confession of McCelaiy,
hut ho maintained strongly that It was
at McCleary's own request and not un
der a "sweating" process.
Chief Frledlnger, of the Hagerstown
force, startled the court crowd with an
admission that he had heard of the
third degree on McCIeary. although h
Cld not know of his own knowledge
that It had been performed.
The case today was in a prellmlnarj
stage. The prosecution tried to break
cdwn the charges of the defense so that
the confeslon might go into the record.
Deny Third Dcct:c
Several witnesses were called to.re
fu(e charges. The prosecuting attorney
entered a dei-IaU Chief Freldlnger torn
of what he knew, but could 'not give a
positive Btatement that there had been
no thlid degree.
Upon completion of the prosecutions
case this afternoon, the defense will
introduce witnesses to support Its story.
It will endeavor to show that when
"the third degree" failed at Hagers
town, the prisoner was brought to the
United States District Attorney Haw
ken's office. In this city, for a star
chamber session with Hawken and the
two headquarters detectives. Then ha
was taken back to the headquarters and
tflnally incarcerated again In tha
Hagerstown Jail at the week end.
There U was that the live detectives,
as yet unnamed, came Into the eae.
One of the quintet, according to Wagsa
man's outline of the case, did tho
ghastly work In the eel. while the other
four acted, as confederates to hear any
statements of theiptisoner, and to as
sist In staging this unusual form of
"third degree."
The contention of tho defense Is that
the confession should not be admitted
since, they assert. McCIeary signed it
only after he had been tortured and
sought to escape furtner "star cham
ber" methods.
To Tell Story.
Tomorrow Miss Lupah Henry, daugh
ter of the murdered woman, will vt
on the stand to tell what she knows of
the terrible tragedy. It Is expeted that
she will relate conversation with Mc
CIeary In Washington subsequent to
the time when he Is alleged to have
strangled the mother to death. Sha
will picture the mad love of the young
prisoner and give as much as she
knows of the details leading to Mc
Cleary's frenzied attack on the mother
followinc her refusal to permit him to
see the girl.
Miss Henry was again today a mute
spectator as the prosecution tried to
force the State to admit the confession
of her former sweetheart.
From miles around tne curious went

tional testimony.
